Jeremiah 27:14-17

14So 1do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who speakH559 to you, sayingH559, ‘You will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894,’ for they prophesyH5012 a 2lieH8267 to you; 15for 3I have not sentH7971 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “but they 4prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 in My nameH8034, in orderH4616 that I may 5driveH5080 you out and that you may perishH6, 6you and the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you.”

16Then I spokeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971, sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068: Do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘BeholdH2009, the 7vesselsH3627 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 will nowH6258 shortlyH4120 be broughtH7725 againH7725 from BabylonH894’; for they are prophesyingH5012 a 8lieH8267 to you. 17Do not listenH8085 to them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421! WhyH4100 should thisH2088 cityH5892 9becomeH1961 a ruinH2723?
